Why can't I sling oil barrels?

[Gorgin]

I am having a bit of trouble with the oil barrels that you can attempt to sling.  I can get them hooked to the sling but then it drops them and gives me a message that says the sling has been cut from someone in the gunner seat.  I am using an Orca and i have also tried getting a friend to ride with me to see if that helped but no success.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cant sling load barrels.

Quite honestly, you should be allowed to sling oil barrels.  If you can already sling a boat down and back to the oil plant then I don't see a huge difference.  Rubber is fucking gindy as hell.

 

 /end rant. It is intended that you cannot

Get the small raft looking boat (not sure what it is called) and put the barrel in it and sling the boat. Just be careful because it is sketchy af. Careful when you set the boat down because it can blow up. (Boats are glitchy)

Just to make sure we are talking about the 4 barrels on a plate right?
